Building a URL with multi-dimensional array

[GiamPy5]

Here's the parameters I am trying to use to build the image:

return [
    'balph'   => 100,
    'bx'      => 300,
    'bm'      => 'normal',
    'markpad' => 0,
    'mark'    => [
        'statics/watermarks/watermark_first_pic.png' => [
            'bm'    => 'normal',
            'by'    => 872,
            'bx'    => 310,
            'blend' => [
                '~text' => [
                    'txtclr'  => 000,
                    'txtsize' => 44,
                    'txt'     => '%EXPERT_CODE%#'
                ]
            ]
        ]
    ],
    'w'       => 1600,
    'fit'     => 'crop',
    'h'       => 1200,
    'auto'    => 'compress,enhance,format'
];

However this is the result:

ErrorException thrown with message "rawurlencode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given"

@GiampaoloFalqui at src/Imgix/UrlHelper.php:46 it seems that you are using rawurlencode() php native function which URL-encode according to RFC 3986, so probably the issue is with the field:

'txt' => '%EXPERT_CODE%#'

Which contains % and # and could be a problem for that function.

But since the error says:

rawurlencode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

Probably the problem is that some field don't should be an array or it is setting in wrong place. Maybe you can debug the values printing a var_dump() just before the rawurlencode, so you will know exactly which value crash with the exception before to call it.

PS: I am not a developer of this library, just trying to help you.

PS2: You can ignore the remain backtrace since is produced by Laravel in the Controller and is thrown by the Imgx libray if you isolate your example.
